Debate 2:

The second debate was off to a brilliant start! Samuel stood strong with his policies regarding immigration, reforming our voting system, and education. The other candidates showed less courtesy than the last debate, frequently interrupting in the middle of Samuel's speeches just to repeat the same things over and over again. Matthew Tsai showed to be less aggressive, but more passive-aggressive with rude facial expressions and frequent laughter whenever a candidate's policies did not agree with his own. Is THIS the kind of president we want for our country? I know I wouldn't. Cecilia Weaver emphasized her stances on education, especially when a member from her own team directed a question at HER, giving her more time to speak over the other candidates per usual. The Darty Party also brought up a very nonchalant, appropriate (approved by Mrs. Ladson), and legal question as to whether the Head First Party and Search Party were colluding together; this question was perfectly normal and fine to ask, considering some of the relations between the party members. This was a Town Hall debate, and a citizen merely wanted to voice their concerns. Unfortunately, both parties yet again forgot that they were participating in a light-hearted mock election and took the question extremely seriously. The Darty Party realizes that some people may be more uncomfortable with jokes so they apologized for the 'misunderstanding'. A word of advice to the class of period 5A: we are walking on eggshells around some people in the class so be careful what you say and how you word it... the extent of how people can get upset over a simple joke can be surprising.
